About Blackbird:

This intense work was commissioned by the Edinburgh International Festival, where it received its world premiere. After years in prison and subsequent hardships, Ray, fifty-six, has a new identity and has made a new life for himself, thinking that he cannot be found. Una, twenty-seven, has thought of nothing else; upon seeing a photo of Ray in a magazine, she has arrived unannounced at his office. Guilt, rage, and raw emotions run high as they recollect the past. Una is looking for answers, not vengeance. Nevertheless, the consequences are shattering.

Roles:

Ray –  Age range 40’s to 50’s

Una – Age range 20’s
